WINTER is here!!

For the past week it has been snowing on the mountain so it has been bloody cold here! I am a Summer girl and I like to always be warm, so I feel my brain hasn't been working as fast as it normally does.

It was Shaughan's sisters 40th birthday last Friday and we went to her house for a party. It was so much fun, I got to meet loads of new people and make new friends. I really feel blessed to have married into the Tizard family they are all such lovely kind people.

We headed out to the hot rod show, the weather was perfect! I was so impressed with all the colours of the cars, it made is so yummy walking around them. My favourite car was a Chevy but this orange coloured car was my favourite colour! I think Shaughan and I will have to buy a hot rod when we have a house with a shed! If you are interested in having a look at more of the cars I have put my photos in the gallery on http://www.wanganui.org/

We headed out to the beach later that afternoon and watched the sun go down. Living in Wanganui is such a great place to be! The next house we live in has to be close to the beach!!!!




Here is a slideshow of the paintings that are on a boat heading over to the UK to be sold.....






I'm organising a party for my man's birthday, it took me ages to think of a theme and I'm excited....everyone has to come dressed as their favourite musician, bring a song and an instrument. I went and delivered the invites last week and our friends have their thinking caps on, wondering what to come as. I wouldn't have a clue what I'm coming as yet because I have so many favourite musicians but I'm going to use the excuse to get my hair cut and coloured CRAZY STYLES!!! Any excuse for a bit of madness!!!

I can't believe that we are so close to July, man this year has gone so fast!!!

My message for today was: The truth shall cast away all your fears, as we gently guide you to look within with loving honesty.

On Saturday I took Mum, Ness, Leah and Achilles out for an hour, it was fun, Shaughan had bought a XR6 last weekend, I took them for a cruise to the gardens out Westmere, the chicken farm and then out for coffee. In the afternoon my good friend Rere came over for a coffee and we hung out which was nice. Rere has become a full time kindy teacher so I don't get to hang out with her as much now.

Shaughan swapped one of his cars for a Holden V8 on Tuesday. I haven't taken it for a spin yet but I'm sure I will love the power and noise! He really loves his cars!!!

We are thinking about doing my FXGT up and racing old Betty, I can't wait I'm such a petrol head at heart. Dad joined all us kids up with the car club when we were teenagers so every weekend we raced our cool old Angle Box until it over heated or we ran out of gas. The buzz you get from racing is just out of this world!!!

Yesterday we took down all the painting in the lounge and it has inspired me to paint the walls and do some new paintings for the room. I haven't been painting much I think it's because of the cold weather? So that will be a good mission for me for the week.

We have been having people up home for the rugby every Saturday night which has been fun, I'm not really into my rugby but I do enjoy having watching it with a good group of people. I do think the All Blacks are HOT!!!! hahahaha.
I can hear my man is about to get out of bed so I'm off to make him a coffee x x x x x

Good-Bye Summer Family Ritual

For the past week I have been feeling the shift of seasons from summer into autumn. This has motivated me to c lean out closets, freshening up our home, make this summer photo collage, and created a family ritual. I find ritual really powerful it allows you the time to honour what has come before, say goodbye, and create intentions for what will come next. I've been poking around the internet and have found interesting articles on family summer rituals. Here are some of the suggestions I have read… Summertime is full of outdoor pursuits, so adding the outdoors into your ritual fits perfectly. Preserve summer fruits for the chilly months ahead. Engage in cooking or baking with summer ingredients. Shared a meal of seasonal food. Press summer flowers or herbs in books. Create a memory book of the past summer with photographs, ticket stubs, memorabilia, quotes, family jokes, poem, or anything else that reminds the family of fun times. Create a summer nature journal, detailing a

Art Every Day Month Day 7 - Encaustic Wax

I'm really enjoying blogging again, it's been years since I have written everyday. I used to do morning pages before I got pregnant, I have heaps of books full of my dribble. The Artist Way by Julia Cameron  got me into the morning pages! Every artist should own a copy of that book!  I was talking to a friend yesterday and she wanted me to order her a box of encaustic wax. I haven't done any encasutic for such a long time, so today was the day to dust off the cobwebs and get melting.  Here are my 2 creations for the day... Releasing my MADNESS!  Getting more into it without distractions Don't you love the texture wax makes! I have been looking for my cutter cause this card is too big and I just can't find it anywhere.  Here are some other pieces I have done, in the past with encaustic wax.
